What you're saying is confusing, as we have known for a long time that instincts like this are genetic. What we haven't known is that your parents can change the genes they pass down to you through their behaviors. Forever this has been called Lamarckism, and has been considered false until just a couple years ago due to lack of evidence. It is, however, intuitive. We've just never had any evidence suggesting it wasn't falseQuote:

The SCOTUS wouldn't even go 8 to 1 or 7 to 2. It would be a full 9 to 0 smackdown against whichever government agency was foolish enough to challenge the constitution
I love how much faith you have in the system. Like you believe that we exist in an enlightened age that is ruled by law and due process. Arguably it's better yeah but I have a hard to believing we've got there in such a short period of time. Maybe we'll get there eventually, when we're long dead.
Yeah, wufwugy, your blind faith in the system is a bit concerning. And while I appreciate your insistence on clarity in accusations, whether or not what they are doing is legal is not really the issue. This is a new frontier for the intelligence sector, and the constitution wasn't written with social media/email/etc in mind.
Knowing what the law says and how laws are treated by the three main branches of government is blind faith?Quote:

All of their bad decisions have been based on previous amendments that no longer apply or were a reflection of the popular opinion of the time. The judiciary is a unique branch that operates on legitimacy. It has no administrative power, and was originally believed to be powerless. Marbury v Madison changed everything, and established that the court has final say on legal matters, but this final say is only upheld through maintaining prestige. This is probably the main reason why the court doesn't side with the controversy that often. The jurists know they can't, else they damage the legitimacy of the court and render their decision worthless.
This all helps explain why we have seen zero attacks against constitutional rights on the issue of privacy. The courts fucking love smacking up side the head anybody who tries to thwart those, and the people love watching it. The executive wouldn't dare challenge this. Can you imagine what would happen if the Obama administration could be caught violating privacy laws? He'd be impeached faster than Nixon. Like 80% of the country doesn't like this stuff, yet it hasn't even happened and the courts haven't ruled on it. But if a case did come and the courts did rule on it, that 80% would be screaming for Obama's head.
The United States is unlike every other nation in that its constitution was founded on checks and balances. None of the European parliaments have that. If France's coalition wanted to make it illegal to be over 6'0" tall, they could. There's nobody stopping them except for the uprising of the populace. But in the United States, the Senate checks the House, the President checks the Senate, both chambers of Congress check the President, and the judiciary checks everybody. If Europe's parliaments, which have very little checks and balances, can operate just fine without violating their constitution, then the US can do it like a walk on the beach
I don't mean to be long-winded here. It's just that all the evidence about how the government works shows that the court adores taking a giant shit all over the other branches if they try to thwart civil liberties. The court probably likes nothing more. And the other two branches never get caught doing it, because they're not doing it, because they know they'd get caught and subsequently curbstomped by the court
I think it's important to note that we live in a time where our channel to these topics is the same media which David Simon accurately declared, with the fall of newspapers and rise of sensationalism, as being devoid of insightful analyses of events. It has been so bad for so long that we take it for granted that the government has been violating civil liberties forever. The media continually tells us this, and we've gotten to the point where we all believe it even though there are zero documented cases for it
And yet Watergate, McCarthyism, and J Edgar Hoover were still able to happen not that long ago in your country's history. Given that track record, and how people in power have acted historically since the beginning of power I think it's incredibly naive to say "Well they haven't been caught violating civil liberties yet so everything is fine!". What makes you think things have changed so much since then?Quote:

If they're doing this in a way that any American has grievance, they can sue. Then the courts would rule on the constitutionality. It is pretty much that simple. The law is a very specific thing, and it is very consistently upheld. Just because people say the NSA is breaking the law doesn't mean they actually are, and if they actually are, the system is set up in such a way that it's really easy to catch them if they try to use what they have illegally obtainedQuote:

Wuf surely you can see the abuses this can lead to without having to wait for a disaster first?
Some, I guess. I'm not exactly sure what they would be, though. The only benefit I can think of that the government could have now that they didn't use to is that if it's illegal for them to copy emails in transfer (it might be, but nobody knows yet), then they could store the information for use at some point after a warrant is already obtained on the individual. I'm not sure if law enforcement already does this in some areas, like wire-tapping. If they don't, then it's likely that if the NSA and FBI or whomever would try to use these emails in court, they'd get struck down for the same reason that they're not able to record phone calls even if they don't listenQuote:

Don't quote me on this because I haven't sourced it recently, but even if it didn't happen, this is the type of thing that would happen. Violations of the constitution are one of the biggest deals there is, and the government knows the only way they can do it is if nobody ever knows about it, which means it isn't something they deliberately do, because if it is done to Americans, we will know about it and there will be tremendous legal ramifications

Also plenty of rich people go to prison and get in trouble. See white-collar crimes. Clinton was almost impeached for his shenanigans, and I expect that if Obama ever did anything which clearly violated the constitution that the republicans would pounce on him in a heartbeat. I fully expect that congress etc think they have the authority to spy with the NSA, and until the people stand up and scream at them or vote better its not gonna change.

so i'm on the train. there's a couple with a child, maybe 2 years old. the mother and father have aisle seats, and an empty seat next to the father where the child was meant to go i suppose. instead the child is on the floor, in the fucking aisle, the whole fucking 1 hour 40 minutes i was on it. on the floor, rolling about, making loads of noise. both parents buried in their magazines, ignoring its offspring. at one point the child starts chanting "mamamamamamamamama..dada...mamamamamamamamamam..d ada....mamamamamamamamama" and this goes on for about oh I dunno, maybe 15, maybe 30 minutes. who knows, it felt like 10 years. eventually the child whacks itself in the head with his toy firetruck, starts going "wahhhh" and then finally the mother remembers that it has a fucking child to take care of. "ohhh baby did u hurt yourself?" child immediately stops crying 'cause LDO it's not actually hurt, it's just maybe trying to subty hint at the fact that he's been left alone in the aisle of a train where people are trampling past constantly WHAT THE FUCK

My vaporizer is awesome.
I have a rebuildable, and have completed my most successful build so far.
It's a 2-3 coil with ribbon wire, running ~0.8 Ohms. I'm using an 18650 battery w/ ~4.2 V.
I get think white clouds now, with lots of flavor.
I think I'm going to name my penis vaporizer because I want to start more sentences this way...Quote:

that's the sickest custom job I've ever seen, not even close.
At 4.2 V and 0.8 Ohms, it's running over 22 Watts when it's on. It gets as hot as anything will when that much power is being released inside it.
The metal mouthpiece is not the best. I have a couple of plastic mouthpieces, but the stainless steel cable wick is too long by ~1/8". :(
I'd have to grind it to get the last bit off, and it's only ~1.5" length of wound cable, so that's just about impossible.
So I just went with it... but it's a bit tall inside the cap. There's a good portion of wick that sticks up above the coil which is useless.
It's very successful otherwise, and it'll probably be a few weeks before I even think of rebuilding it again. With stainless steel cable and mesh for a wick, it's a lifetime warranty item, now.
I'll eventually fix the wick length, though. I'm sure I'll get better at wrapping the coil, too. It's as much art as science.

It's very sturdy and reliable. The seals on the tank are at the top and bottom of the glass tube. That means that when you tighten the tank together, you tighten the seal on the tank. I prefer this method of sealing the tank.
I have a tank that was donated to me that leaks. It uses common ring gaskets to seal the tank. They do not press tight enough against the glass tank wall to prevent the juice from getting out. There's no way to tighten them, since they just press against the inside of the tank.

does anyone know how the fuck to fix the fucking charging port on a laptop to keep it from wiggling around? i was going to solder some shit yesterday, but after taking my laptop apart, and getting to the piece, there's nothing i need to solder, it's just a loose part. from what i've read, getting a new port thingy and installing it would be better since apparently the factory one is shit. i'm also thinking about modding my laptop, as apparently i can install some more RAM. i feel kinda awesome for being able to take my laptop apart and put it back together and it all be running perfectly, besides not being able to fix the wiggly port thingy.
If you took something apart as complicated as a laptop without breaking it you have a massive lack of curiosity.
Well, I just really love my laptop, which is why I didn't want to be too curious. It honestly didn't seem too complicated. I just make sure shit goes back like it was.Quote:

Maybe you're just a shitty engineer if you're constantly breaking stuff you take apart. I mean I'm a bit of a shitty engineer myself, but I'm still taking stuff like toasters, lamps, vacuum cleaners, fridges and shit that wiff nags me about and most of the time I can put it back together properly again. Sometimes I even fix the problem.Quote:

Chelle it sounds like you might need to just glue that shit in place. Of course you're potentially preventing any repairs in the future by doing so but meh, it'll probably be out of date soon anyway so I say just pour 2 liters of epoxy in there and be done with it. Alternatively duct tape.

Wait, D0zer isn't a blacksmith?
I'm pretty sure you're a blacksmith, dude.
The exact same mathematics describes a spring-mass-damper system as a circuit with a resistor, capacitor, and an solenoid.
The wave equation describes how electron density moves in a wire.
At the bottom level, it's all the same math. Second order partial differential equations are the doorway to understanding everything.
Once you get past the basic level of understanding, though, the specialization is evident.
I can design and build an analog or digital circuit... but not the chips that I'd be using to do it, and not a computer. I could make a calculator, though, in an afternoon or 2 if I had the parts I needed.
The mathematics of dozer's epic beard are still unknown.

I have enjoyed an absolutely brilliant book on oscillations recently. And you're absolutely right, it all comes down to math.

He's tried to teach my Mom, but she doesn't do it the way he taught her, and ends up making a mess that he has to go back and fix. We helped paint my brothers new house, and she was saying how she was going to help and I was like, "Uhhhh, are you sure about that." Then she did, and Dad was like, "Ohgod what is this mess".

It's weird to be completely integrated after pretty much all my life hearing different voices in my head. As of early August I'm 100% 1 identity.
Even though I'm scared of fucking up and shit [massive fear of failure], I'm excited about getting into school. It's also weird to have to push yourself to deal with emotions and not just push them away, because I know if I was to start doing that again, I'd end up where I was. I feel cheesy when I say this, but every day is some fucked up battle of my old self VS me now. Old self was scared to speak up in fear of someone possibly getting offended, new self is more scared of me not speaking up and making sure I don't get ran over. I don't want to be rude to people, but I also will not let someone think for one moment they can be disrespectful towards me for no reason.
I go to therapy on the weekly basis, still, and now I'm dealing with PTSD and anxiety more-so than anything else. When I told my therapist about how I've completely integrated, she was so happy and nearly cried. To think that I did all of these profound steps in my mental health without the 'help' of medication is crazy to me, but I'm so glad that I did. Looking back it's such a strange thing that I used to be such a shambled person that was rarely -me-, I was all these different versions of myself.
Now the only problem I have to really 100% get under control is the seizures, but all I have to do with that is keep my anxiety under control. I've also noticed that my anger is fucking insane. I'm quick to get pissed, but I've learned how to bring myself down without flipping my shit on someone, even if they need to be flipped out on. Meditation is something that's helped me more than I realize, and even though I fought like hell to not do it when I was first being taught, and I fucking HATED doing it, I'm glad I did. Part of me feels like it was 100% completely unfair to the people around me that they had to see me like that, that they had to interact with me when I was at such a low point mentally and physically. I'm glad they were, and I'm also glad that I was able to crash land and build myself completely back up with tid-bits of knowledge they gave me, I.E. meditation and breathing.
So, thanks spoon, sorry I was such a cunt at the end.

Thank you. I feel like I've wasted a lot of my life living in fear, and even though I'm still fearful, I push myself. Today I started doing some research and asking around about a local woman's college, as I'd be more comfortable and less fearful.

Thanks RPM, I plan on it. ;)
I just remembered this, even though I'm not sure how I forgot.
On Thanksgiving went to the neighbors of my boyfran, and the neighbors kid was shooting a BB gun at cans, and couldn't hit it. Couple of boyfran's friends were over, and his brother as well. Boyfran tried, missed. Boyfran's fran tried twice, missed. Boyfrans brother tried, got it on second try, but does target practice a lot.
Then I am like, "Hey, I wanna try, I've not shot a BB gun since I was like 8. " They were all lol okay here. There I am, in heels, make-up and hair all did, and lookin' like a cute little lady, aim the gun, hit right above the can the first time, second time hit it. I'm like "BAM!" Then I was proud of myself for hitting a target as small as a soda can from about 50 ft away at a weird angle, after not shooting a gun for almost 20 fucking years. Needless to say I was rubbing that the fuck in, and still think how fucking badass it was that I was able to do that. All I took into account was the way the wind was blowing, and how the target was positioned from where I was. I still feel like a badass when I think about it. I think I'm going to rub that in boyfrans face some more today.
I was also able to track down a package UPS delivered to the wrong house, and go get it, WITHOUT getting killed.
Oh, and I made beef stew, yeast rolls, and chocolate chip cookies last night.
p.s. I think I have PMDD instead of PMS. I go from angry to wanting to cry my eyes out, to feeling crazy happy and then feeling like I'm going to throw up, and then being like OHMYGODIWANTSTEAKNOWDAMNIT, then I'm thinking, "I wonder what chocolate chip cookies with pickles would taste like?" - and that sounds kind of tasty.
